For details about what you can do with the distribution function and its syntax, see “Performing Distribution Calculations in a Program” (page 8-29).

IDetermining Standard Deviation and Variance from List Data

You can use functions to determine standard deviation and variance for specified list data. This calculation is performed in the RUN • MAT (or RUN) mode. You can perform calculations using data you saved to a list (List 1 to List 26) with the STAT mode List Editor or list data you input directly on the RUN • MAT (or RUN) mode screen.

Syntax

StdDev(List n [,List m])

 

 

 

 

 

 

Variance(List n [,List m])

 

 

 

 

 

 

List n........Sample data

 

 

 

 

 

 

List m.......Frequency data
